    Thats absolutely true, isn't it? I'm also spreading out into blogs, slowly slowly, via Fay and Cheery, which is an amazing world.

    Btw, I had a wonderful time with my friend yesterday - I got a bit tired at the end of the day (well, actually, I got *dizzy* with tiredness!) but we pottered around Sainsbury together - she's brilliant at timing things to find the best reductions, so it was quite educational for me, I've never lived close enough to a big supermarket to make that a worthwhile thing to learn :)

    Today, I've decided I *am* going to go to the National Home Improvement Show, at Earls Court. A rail replacement bus is running for a little of the journey, but that will be okay, its still so much easier from where I am.

    I want to look at it in terms of the green website, for the renovations to my own house, and in particular right now for storage solutions - how to fit stuff into narrow spaces, as the space for heavy stuff like tins is a bit limited in the kitchen. I'm going to be *very* careful about buying stuff tho :D

    Hope you've had fun at the Earl's Court show, I love going to big exhibitions but since having DD, it's not happened, I can't imagine anything worse than dragging a small child around a space that big!

    Lots of people are having problems with Virgin Media - just ask Fresian, many are finidng it stops working after about 10am :eek:. I rate BT Broadband for service but they aren't cheap.

    Kittikins - the link didn't have a register button, how do we register?

    Thanks for that KK - but, like Pippajo at first, I can't see where to register :( I've clicked every link I can find, including the privacy statement, and I can't find it at all :(

    I had a great day at the Home Improvement Show - it really focussed my mind, and I realised that if I'm ever to do anything about this website, I'm going to have to focus - so when I start doing it, I'll have to focus on one area of whats available, because there's so much now, the figures are so disputed, and there's so much sales guff, it wouldn't really be possible immediately to cover the whole ground. Thats a good thing in its way! It helps me focus, anyway.

    Glad you had a lovely day and that you've come away with more ideas for your site.

    KC - I found a link in a thread on the up your income board, it was a couple of pages in on the thread list. Hope you can find it as I have no idea how to link it to here :o

    Thanks Pippajo, I'll have a look in a bit.

    I've just re-read my post from yesterday - I think the word "focus" may be slightly overused :rotfl: but it gives the general idea.

    Oh my, the forums really are slow today. Okay, I'll potter off - I've got my list, including a completely-new-to-me mystery shop, so I'll be back later with a ta-da list.

    Hope everyone has a good day.
